How do you write 6,000,000 in scientific notation?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Scientific notation is a way of expression very big or very small numbers using powers of 10.
There is always on ONE (non-zero) digit before the decimal comma. The index of 10 indicates how many place-holders there are in the number.
Move the decimal point until there is ONE digit to the left of it. Count how many places the point moved.
If the point is moved to the LEFT, the index increases.
If the point is moved to the RIGHT, the index decreases.
